Great for muscle soreness and overall pain.

Helped a lot with sleep and recovery

This is a great, high potency tart cherry supplement. There are not a lot of tart cherry products on the market standardized to this level of anthocyanins. I looked around and was mainly seeing products around 0.5% anthocyanins from a 25:1 extract, so standardized to 10% is a really potent concentration!I was actually wondering, "why wouldn't I just get a bilberry supplement for anthocyanins?" so i did some research. It turns out tart cherries contain very high concentrations of anthocyanins 1 and 2 which gives them their anti-inflammatory effects. These particular anthocyanins aren't even present in blueberries and bilberries, so tart cherries have a unique active ingredient and mechanism of action.The supplement itself is good. They are small, coated, easy to swallow tablets, with a very mild tartness. Nootropics Depot has an excellent reputation for quality control and standardization. They have an in-house lab and do their own testing to ensure potency and purity, so I trust the quality of this product.As for effects, most food-based supplements are going to be subtle. This would probably give you more noticeable benefits with muscle soreness after a workout, and research indicates it might have some sleep inducing effects due to the presence of melatonin. But there really is no reason to take this for sleep, since melatonin is cheap and readily available. The real highlight of this product is the high concentration of anti-inflammatory anthocyanins.

Most supplements are a feel good, and practical way to keep your vital nutrient levels up. I take a multivitamin, and Omega 3’s, plus a bunch of other things, and I am glad I do, but I can’t say that I feel them. With Tart Cherry extract, I tried a different brand first, and I was shocked that I really felt a boost from them. After I ran out, I intentionally stopped, just to see if I would lose the boost, and I did. I tried this brand and they worked just a well as the others, but these are a much better value. The bottle is 60, but is very small, so it is easy to toss in a travel bag, and the manufacturer isn’t wasting plastic to put them in a oversized bottle, for marketing purposes. If you try these, you will be very happy that you did. They really work great. Enjoy!

Helps so much with gout. Great alternative to medicine. If I skip it my pain returns. It's a great way for me to remain pain fee.

I added these to my tart cherry arsenal because of gout. It eventually will end up in my left big toe joint if left unchecked and I usually receive warnings with a stiff left pointer finger and left knee pain.Taking tart cherry daily along with a low dose of sodium bicarbonate keeps it at bay. If the tart cherry is of lower or poor quality my body knows pretty fast and within a few days my finger(s) and left knee will be a bit stiff.So far, so good with this brand. Left hand and knee are feeling about as well as possible so it is working as intended.I will say they are the best smelling tart cherry extract tablets I've encountered.5/5

I've heard that tart cherry is an excellent antioxidant and helps people with pain and swelling. It also helps with restless leg syndrome and arthritis. To me, the most beneficial part is the sleep aid. It works by helping you STAY asleep longer, which is important especially if you're older and keep waking up in the middle of the night. I've done some experiments with either taking tart cherry or not taking it and seeing if I wake up more often or less often. I have a sleep tracker so it tells me my sleep efficiency. The nights taking tart cherry correlates with less waking up. I give these two thumbs up. Thanks for reading my review. I hope it was helpful for you.

I decided to try this because I'd read anecdotes online of people using tart cherry extract to improve their sleep. Taking one of these per night has increased the amount of deep sleep I get (according to my Fitbit), and this is on top of the deep sleep increase I've been getting from 200 mg of phosphatidylserine. I seem to get an extra 30 minutes of deep sleep per supplement, which I'm really liking because I usually only get 1 hour of deep sleep per night, but always feel more rested with more of it. I plan to continue taking Tart Cherry Extract after I'm through with this bottle. I've ordered supplements from Nootropics Depot before and can confirm that they're a high quality brand. Always nice to see one of my favorites.
